Can this proposed configuration be simulated with the current release by 
setting the registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MIT\NetIDMgr\PluginManager\Plugins\AfsCred\Disableafscreds
 to 1

and deleting or renaming afscreds.exe and afs_config.exe?

> The Proposal:
> 
> I propose that beginning with 1.5.66 (whenever that is) that the
> afscreds.exe and afs_config.exe tools not be installed at all on any
> Windows version Vista or beyond and that on 2000, XP and 2003 that
> these
> tools not be installed as part of the default configuration.
> 
> 
> The Impact:
> 
> The afscreds tool provides three sets of functionality:
> 
>  * token acquisition (and renewal if MIT KFW is present)
> 
>  * drive mapping
> 
>  * start/stop the afsd service
> 
> Network Identity Manager has long been available as a replacement for
> the token acquisition functionality and it is available on any system
> on
> which MIT KFW is present.  The only systems that wouldn't have it are
> clients of cells that are still using kaserver.
> 
> The drive mapping functionality has been documented as deprecated since
> the addition of the loopback installation permitted the use of a
> standard \\AFS UNC server name.  The recommended method for a user to
> create a drive mapping is the Windows Drive Mapping user interface
> provided as part of "[My] Computer" and the Explorer Shell.
> 
> Starting and stopping the afsd service is an administration function
> that can be performed using the Windows Service MMC.
> 
> The afs_config.exe tool provides:
> 
>  * configuration management including cell name, server preferences,
> cellservdb editing,
>    cache size, and advanced tuning parameters
> 
>  * start/stop functionality
> 
>  * drive mapping
> 
> [...]
